CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1815

Although Karina had no idea what they intended, with Harley already waiting outside her office, she figured she had no choice but to meet him.

Taking a few deep breaths to steady herself, she entered her office. Harley stood by the window, examining her pot of red dianthus on the windowsill.

Karina frowned. “Dr. Carter, that plant is mine. Please be careful not to knock it over.”

As soon as the words left her mouth—

Crash!

The flower pot toppled off the windowsill, shattering into pieces on the floor.

Karina jumped in shock, quickly followed by relief. At least it had shattered indoors and not fallen outside. Someone could have been seriously hurt if it had.

But that didn’t stop her from getting angry.

“Dr. Carter, what’s the meaning of this?” she snapped, her frustration evident.

She had barely finished warning him, and the pot had already fallen. Was that really just an accident?

Harley pocketed his hands and apologized with an infuriating nonchalance. “My apologies. How much was it? I’ll compensate you. Name your price. Heck, I’ll buy you a dozen replacements if you want.”

Karina took a deep breath.

No wonder even someone as composed as Wilfred couldn’t stand him. He really was insufferable.

“That won’t be necessary. I can buy another one myself. Let’s get to the point, shall we?”

“There’s no need to explain,” Dr. Carter said casually, sliding one hand out of his pocket. The black earring on his ear caught the light with a subtle glint. “The person who came to find you earlier should’ve already made it clear. Professor Zeller wants to see you.”

Karina’s grip tightened. “Professor Zeller wants to meet me? Why?”

And the most infuriating part? It wasn’t an empty threat.

The association, with its network of influential elites, held enough power to sway someone’s career or their entire future with the flick of a finger.

Karina knew she had no choice but to meet Professor Zeller now, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Why me?”

Harley pocketed his hands again, his fingers brushing his earring as he answered nonchalantly, with a hint of amusement. “Because you’re impressive. The professor has a thing for ambitious people.”

Karina let out a cold laugh.

Without another word, she motioned for Harley to step outside and wait. Her expression remained icy as she removed her lab coat.

Even as she stepped outside, her expression remained unchanged.
